It was more important when there was no internet to instantly connect you with gamers far away from you. You mention the few friends there were to game with in Big Bear; it was easily possible to live in small towns like that and have no one at all to play with. PBM was really cool if you were in that situation.<br /><br />Besides, Heroic Fantasy is just cool in its own right.John Harper Brinegarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17592827787099084705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113217136376400257.post-11088965255237704752010-10-03T12:53:05.459-07:002010-10-03T12:53:05.459-07:00Whoops.

That doesn't compute.<br /><br />Anyway. <br /><br />I remember ads for PBMs myself. A few friends played one where you had some kind of criminal gang and fought amongst those. I know I ordered a starter kit for some fantasy game, but never got going. <br /><br />What I find amazing is that not only are FBI still doing this, they are doing it still and at least not loosing money on it! Considering Rick had to eat I guess they even earn a dollar or two doing it. That's amazing.AndreasDavourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17170806742393291962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113217136376400257.post-75109343017297907002010-10-03T01:56:17.578-07:002010-10-03T01:56:17.578-07:00Calithena used to have some cool, old PBM stuff.

For whatever reason, I still recall and ad for a Star Trek one. But it does seem a strange concept in the second decade of the 21st century.Matthew Slepinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056247825064943944noreply@blogger.com
